Have you searched for them?
There have definitely been .pets for both.
Also if you are using a recent puppy based on Ubuntu or Slackware, you should be able to use packages from those distros._________________If you have or know of a good gtkdialog application, please post a link here

I don't think so, but it shouldn't be too much of a problem with programs like these that don't have too many dependencies.
If you're running a recent Puppy based on Slackware or Ubuntu the package manager should have an option to use the repositories of that distribution, and I would assume you get dependency resolution with that._________________If you have or know of a good gtkdialog application, please post a link here

That of course leads me to wonder what the advantage of .pet is over .debs or .rpms

I think the only advantages people might claim for the .pet format would be simplicity and the very small size of software needed to deal with it. There has been a long discussion recently about package formats and package managers and whether to improve or replace .pet

Personally I think:
- the main problem traditionally with Puppy is the package repository (not the package format). This forum has historically been the de facto repository and package manager for anything that hasn't been packaged by Barry!
- if Puppy is built from another distro's packages (e.g. Slackware or Ubuntu) then that distro's repository should be used except for packages which are specific to Puppy and therefore not available there, or rarely if there is a real need to have a different version of a package for Puppy._________________If you have or know of a good gtkdialog application, please post a link here
